Star AllianceAsiana Airlines Business Class
Asiana Airlines is currently a Star Alliance member (since 2003) but is mid-acquisition by Korean Air, which completed a 63.88% stake purchase in December 2024. The two carriers are scheduled to fully merge into a single brand on December 17, 2026 — meaning bookings made today for later dates should account for the possibility of schedule, branding, or loyalty-program changes as integration proceeds. Until then, Asiana continues operating independently with its own A350, A330, 777, and A380 fleet and its own Business Smartium product.

Airline overview
Asiana Airlines is currently a Star Alliance member (since 2003) but is mid-acquisition by Korean Air, which completed a 63.88% stake purchase in December 2024. The two carriers are scheduled to fully merge into a single brand on December 17, 2026 — meaning bookings made today for later dates should account for the possibility of schedule, branding, or loyalty-program changes as integration proceeds. Until then, Asiana continues operating independently with its own A350, A330, 777, and A380 fleet and its own Business Smartium product.
Founded in 1988, Asiana Airlines is headquartered in South Korea and operates to 78+ destinations across 80+ countries. The fleet is built around Airbus A350-900, Airbus A330-300, Boeing 777-200ER and Airbus A380-800 for long-haul operations, with additional narrowbody types on regional routes. Asiana Airlines is a Star Alliance alliance member, which gives passengers access to lounges and booking across all partner carriers worldwide.
The business class experience
Asiana Business Smartium features Lie-flat staggered with direct aisle access. Seat width is 22 inches and fully extended bed length is 78 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Asiana Airlines's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.
In-flight entertainment is delivered via Seatback touchscreen IFE. Dining on Asiana Airlines: Korean and Western cuisine, signature bibimbap. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.
Lounges and ground experience
At the home hub: Asiana Lounge (ICN). At other airports worldwide: Star Alliance partner lounges worldwide. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.
On the ground at departure, Asiana Airlines business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.
What travelers say
“Elegant, Korean-inflected service and a genuinely comfortable A350 lie-flat product. Given the confirmed December 2026 full merger with Korean Air (a SkyTeam carrier, versus Asiana's current Star Alliance membership), we recommend checking directly with us on how integration might affect your specific travel dates before booking far in advance. Currently often priced below equivalent Korean Air fares.”
